Abstract
The problem of transition radiation from relativistic electrons in a translucent disc and a sphere is considered. It is shown that the shape and transverse dimensions of the target may significantly affect the spectral and angular characteristics of transition radiation in the frequency range ω ≤ cγa –1 (γ is the Lorentz factor of the electron and a is the characteristic transverse size of the target).
